Feedback to rough cut

1) How would you describe the visual style?

• eerie
• spooky

2) use of editing/lighting/framing

• sun rising looks good

3) Which single image is most striking? . . . . and why?

• the egg, who's cooking it? if no one's about . . .

4) Give one example of an effective use of the following elements:

• props or settings - house, car, daffodil
• costumes - no characters or people
• performance - nothing really happened
• improvements - involve more things, leaves a lot of questions

Nothing really happened, could be bad or good - suspense, whats going to happen? but boring if theres random things pop up on the screen.
Need to have lots of busy people etc before the 'noise' then show the emptiness.
leaves many unanswered questions, it does not give too much away and keeps the audience guessing!

5) How would you describe the mood/atmosphere of the opening?

• creepy/eerie/empty/deserted

6) What other films/TV shows does it make you think of and why?

• ? something where people have died? car crash?

7) How has the music/sound been used to create atmosphere?

• We liked the dripping noises at the beginning - creepy, emphasis the emptiness
• We also liked the heartbeat - adds tension/suspense

8) How would you describe whats happening in the opening?

• nothing happens - empty scenes = mystery

9) Who are the characters

• no characters

10) What do you imagine the films about?

11) What questions do you still have?

• what's happened to the people? where are they? why the car has been left with an opened door

12) What ways could the sequence be better?

• make more sense
• connections between shots
  
• more narrative e.g. examples of why they are gone (possibly abstract)
